## Summary

**Return of the Parthenon Marbles to Greece:** This resolution would urge the United Kingdom to negotiate with Greece to facilitate returning the Parthenon Marbles. It frames the sculptures as integral to the Parthenon and global cultural heritage, notes Greece's long pursuit and the New Acropolis Museum as a fitting home, and presents return as a gesture of goodwill that would set no legal precedent.
